Upcoming Appearances

My hope is that we can help empower women by teaching them useful skills, techniques and creative solutions – those that will be applicable in today’s workplace. We have a wonderful lineup of speakers who will teach the ways to influence change, market yourself, overcome challenges, while taking care of oneself and building inner strength.

Danielle Ernest, Proven Winners - Things I've Learned Along the Way

Pat Hayward, Executive Director of Plant Select® Colorado State University - The Art of Juggling

Evelyn Alemanni, America in Bloom judge and author of Ten Years of Best Ideas - Volunteer and Grow Your Career

Here are just a few comments about past Women in Horticulture Conferences from attendees:

“The conference was great for showing how to build customer loyalty and influence change. It provided resources and motivation!”

"It was great for networking, meeting others in the field with experience, learning from others lives and experiences.”

“Making changes for healthier living. Every speaker had something useful to share with us. How to keep customer loyalty through economic downslides.”

“Great networking, financial info, and tricks of the trade.”

“Loved the three morning talks. Very timely and useful, especially how all three speakers targeted how women relate and need to be more assertive, set goals, and go after what you want.”

“Confidence building and a reminder of who I am, what I want, and how to get it.”
